    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Yes! Thank you. We're cooking with gas now! Is a smaller cooler better than a larger one? i.e. Any cooling is better than what's on now, and a smaller cooler would keep the pressure up? I've been looking at generic 10 and 13 row coolers, approx 300x100mm.

    Brake Cooling Ducts for Clio 2

    Why is everyone so keen to keep the liners? To protect the belts on the drivers side? To stop the arches parachuting?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Amazing help thank you so much for this! I'm 99% certain I've got my head around it now! Will send you a message regarding the kit. I love those drybreaks but I think they're a bit unnecessary for me. I'm glad this is gaining momentum - stops me looking for wheels I don't need!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Thank you all, this info is fantastic! That would be amazing, thank you! More than happy to fire some beer tokens over to show my appreciation. DM me if you'd prefer to sort it there. I've got access to a lathe - is the adaptor to go from the fitting from the pump to the -8AN pipe? I'm...

    Livery Photoshop Request

    I didn't have a camera going I'm afraid mate. Nardo grey will look great! Mine is currently off the road doing a winter rebuild

    Livery Photoshop Request

    Saw you at Blyton! Think we exchanged a sneaky thumbs up. I was in the black 172 with the yellow cage and black team dynamics, driving slow as hell lol. Also, free bump for this photoshop masterclass!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Thought I'd bump this rather than starting a new thread. I've had the PAS pump done along with the belts, threw the car round Blyton and boiled the fluid again, so definitely need to get this cooler fitted this winter. Going off the above, am I right in thinking its as simple as cutting the low...

    Cleaning pole positions

    Also keep an eye on the ends of the "combs" if using on something soft. If you press too hard and the surrounding material is higher, you can catch the cloth. But otherwise, a great tool. Good for getting cat hair off the stairs.

    Best Clio specialist garage in Manchester?

    Another vote for Birchdown. I um'd and ah'd about going down there for a few years (I'm near Blackburn, so North of you) but I bit the bullet this year for belts & PAS pump with no regrets. Sound lads. Just don't drive straight past like I did and get lost miles down the road lol.

    Knee pads - What are people using?

    Old thread I know, but tough. What are these like if you're a big lad? The ones I had (admittedly cheap) had straps that kept slipping/rolling down, most likely to the size of my thighs #bootylicious

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    I still kinda like the looks of this, but with new cars, I may as well be giving my opinion on super yachts. The (badly kept) secret rear doors are annoying, as its not like there isn't an equivalent 5dr somewhere in the range. Interesting how they've used large wheels to make it seem smaller...

    Painting inside of car

    I wrapped mine with Tesa loom tape (cloth tape that looks oem), and relocated the boot light to halfway up the C pillar. I used satin black rattle cans and the result was very similar to the above. My only pointer would be that it absolutely stank of paint for weeks after so definitely worth...

    Vibrations at certain rpms

    Defo sounds like the mounts need loosening, letting the engine idle to find it's happy place and then re-torquing. With them re-torqued it should alleviate any worries of them being too tight as well.

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Okay I've done more research. You are both correct. Some are great, some are gash. Basically you want more than 2gb of RAM apparently, and the brands T'Eyes, Xtrons & Joying are decent brands with good customer service. Unfortunately those ones are up in the £250 or so category, so I need to...

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Opposing views! One of the reasons I was looking at the cheap ones was the larger screens. A lot of the branded ones just do a 6.8 double DIN size screen whereas the cheap ones have up to a 10.1 screen and look more modern.

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Non- Clio content! Obviously not putting a 10.1" screen in my track car :ROFLMAO: Getting a new daily shortly, and I'm looking into a decent head unit. I mainly listen to podcasts & metal music when driving to work, so I don't need crushing bass etc, and the car has a seemingly decent sound...

    Have I broken my car? Changing steering wheel, now car lacks power, in all gears

    Normally its not this bad, but I think the issues have been caused with the breakages.

    Have I broken my car? Changing steering wheel, now car lacks power, in all gears

    Just a headsup for when you get back and get the diagnostic machine on it, you can clear steering angle sensor faults but make sure they don't come back next time you turn the ignition off and on again. I had a steering angle sensor related ABS issue and managed to borrow a code reader to reset...

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    Will have a look, cheers!

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    Are these Milltek's common on the used market or am I best off spending like £600 on one? That's half the value of the car! :D

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    What about getting one made up with the most amount/largest silencers in? I got a twin pipe catback made for my Lexus for £400, and it would be literally half the pipework.

    Rear Cage vs Full Cage & How Far to Take Stripped Interior? (1*2)

    Car is a Phase 2 172. Sat here daydreaming earlier and was wondering about the above. Now it’s not a general query, my car is already semi-stripped with a SW motorsports rear cage with harness bar, bucket seat, 6pt harness. Obviously other mods too, but not relevant to this thread. The car is...

    Steering Angle Sensors?!

    Basically I ended up starting again with a known good squid/indicator assembly & known good steering angle sensor, and touch wood, its worked.

    REIS Insurance (incl trackdays)

    Just an update for Reis - I looked at getting a multicar policy for the Clio and my Lexus, and they said if there was any evidence I'd been to the Ring in either car they'd cancel both policies. And they regularly look at ring pictures apparently. Not sure how feasible that would be. Perhaps...
